Re: Bois De Portugal vs Antaeus - Unexpected result !!!

What a great idea John. Thank you for being bold enough to do that, and share the results with us. I'll be interested to see how future tests go. What I would really be interested in (if you had it) would be Cool Water vs. Green Irish Tweed. Those two have been compared/discussed/debated here until the horse is not only dead, but a bloody mess.

However, I would really be interested to see if your test smellers among the female population could really discern a difference, and which was preferred.

They are both grand classic fragrances, both very classy, mature and powerhouse, and still manage to be sensual while being suitable for the utmost formal occasions

I would go for both frags and wear them regularly, not just because they are both very likely to be enjoyed by the opposite gender, but mainly because they are some of the least linear and predictable male fragrances from the elegant-classic category

Did you ever get a chance to try out the Vintage? To me it's extremely oustanding compared to modern in terms of scent, quality, sillage, and projection!!! But the modern one isn't too bad. I ended up buying two 200ml vintage bottles :0

No doubt this was Jaques Polge intention to create The Chanel No 5 for men. BPD is gorgeous as well but there are way too many flankers either similar, or better according to some. Antaeus though is a whole different league ( Especially vintage )

Both great fragrances, but was surprised by their response.
